There are two kinds of "woke".

The good kind of "woke" is acknowledging that many of the injustices that exist in our society is partly due to our failure to address past injustice and wanting to be part of the effort to find solutions to them to make this country better.


I'll let British YouTube character Jonathan Pie describe the bad kind of "woke".



I am willing to bet 95% of Mexicans and people of Mexican origin are not offended by a Mexican restaurant in the UK passing out fake sombreros to college students as a means of saying "hey, come try our tacos."

What a classic Democratic thing to do: Give aid and comfort to our enemies, on the morning after an historic, unexpected victory. Can we not revel just for a little while in our success, before we once more start making things easy for people who hate our guts? If nothing else, how about we ditch the "Woke" term for another label? I love what "Woke" represents---I just don't like jerking off Tucker Carlson.

The Republicans have a snoozing agenda, best exemplified by that lunatic clutching a pillow.

I’m woke enough to know it’s beyond stupid to think you can boost your testosterone by getting naked and tanning your scrotums.

The sooner we ignore it, the sooner it fades away. Do NOT try to solve it! Forget it! And no more handing ammunition to our foes! Geez...we MUST use our brains a lot better.
